If you’re looking for a retro masculine scent that defines the man between 40 and 59 this is it: classic yet modern very much of the 80s era (think Azzaro Escada or Puig) without copying them. It showcases maturity at its best—not for teenagers or the elderly; it’s what Al Pacino’s ‘Lefty’ would wear in ‘Donnie Brasco’. An excellent fragrance with a clear appeal warmly received by mature women (35+). It requires presence and personality. Notes of leather incense nutmeg beautiful cedar and a touch of musk create a refined virile combination. Made in Italy by an American designer it’s versatile for any season though I prefer it for evening wear. Hard to find but not discontinued. Scent: 9.0. Projection: max 2 hours. Longevity: 7-8 hours. Recommended.

Mr. Blass by Bill Blass is for men seeking a retro or vintage aroma—the type of fragrance that defines the man between 40 and 59: classic yet current. It evokes that wave of 80s woody aromatics like Azzaro Pour Homme Escada Pour Homme or Quorum by Antonio Puig; they aren’t identical but they follow that line. It showcases a man’s maturity at its peak: not for kids or the elderly; it’s what ‘Lefty’ (Al Pacino) would wear in ‘Donnie Brasco’. It seems excellent to me with a well-defined appeal that makes the scent warmly received by mature women (35 and up). It’s that classic aroma that requires a certain maturity presence and personality to wear. It’s magnificent! The notes of leather incense nutmeg and a beautiful cedar wood with a hint of detected musk create a fine harmonious combination in the purest virile style for a man wanting to project maturity. Made in Italy though Bill Blass was American and one of the best fashion designers. It’s very versatile for any time of day or season though I prefer it for night. I think it would be a magnificent choice. Hard to find but not discontinued. Scent: 9.0. Projection: max 2 hours. Longevity: between 7 and 8 hours. Recommended.

This perfume explodes with bergamot and nutmeg flooding the room instantly though projection drops quickly to moderate within the next hour. I detect a wet leather note which I love blending perfectly with the incense. The cedar gets a bit lost against the bergamot and the dry down features long-lasting vanilla amber and an appealing musk. It reminds me of classic Avon scents from my youth but with my favorite twist: the nutmeg. It just needs a bit more projection; I wouldn’t mind if someone else smelled it while being transported.

I searched for a perfume shipping site and to minimize risk I tried an affordable one on sale. After reading great reviews on Fragrantica I took the plunge and found a gem: the best quality-to-price ratio I’ve ever seen. It’s a special piece—an aromatic-spicy scent with no declared florals (and none perceived). It starts strong with bergamot and nutmeg; upon application the cedar is intense reminding me of Encre Noir (they share 3 of 4 notes). By hour 7 I clearly detect soft incense leather and vetiver. The base is amber and musk without sweetness though I didn’t sense vanilla. The cedar lasts throughout but the star is the nutmeg with a touch of soft wood. Interestingly all its notes fit within Givenchy’s Xeryus but this one is more minimalist lacking that overwhelming load of woods and florals. Ideal for the office due to its moderate sillage it lasts over 12 hours (the last three hours closer to the skin). Made in Italy it has performance that expensive brands charging $100 would envy; mine with shipping came to about $15 a ridiculous price for what it delivers. Though spicy it suits almost all seasons except a very hot summer. Perfect for day and office. If you dislike florals enjoy soft spices and want a daily wear with unbeatable value this is your option.
